"Nuclear Cabbage"?

by thebyron on Mar 11, 2010 12:47 PM PST

The uni post that lemonverbana put up made me curious...now that a little time has passed, what do people think of the bright green alternate jerseys?

via halfmanhalfdog.files.wordpress.com

For what it's worth, I love the bright green and hope they bring it back for a game or two a year. I bought a lime Lofa and love it. The green is my personality: loud, a bit obnoxious, perhaps even offensive.

I have a Lime Carlson.

Love ’em.

Sounds like an aristocratic cocktail invented in Raleigh

Yes sir, I reckon I will have another Lime Carlson.

Shanghai Kelly's on Polk St. in San Francisco is the worst bar on the face of the earth (at least on Sunday mornings).

I'm gonna have to invent that drink!

Pure Pot Still Irish Whiskey, Sweet Vermouth, Angostura Bitters, a spoonful of brown sugar

and a lime wedge skewered by a Touchdown Jesus-topped toothpick.

A nuclear cabbage sounds like a college party drink served in a funny looking mug.

Give me an offensive line or give me death!

GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

I wish I had one :(

I really really like the darker blue. Looks good.

by chrees on Mar 11, 2010 1:30 PM PST reply actions

Wouldn't want them for a whole season

But for one or two games a year, LOVE THEM!

Hopefully Pete brings them back. I could see Pete thinking they’re “awesome.”

If I didn't have a boatload of autographs on my blue Carlson

I would have bought a green one.

I probably should anyway since they’re done and I can always get a new jersey autographed easy enough.

I love them

It’s a weird green and good for Seattle for having colors no one else does since the Pacific NW is such a different place.

Give me an offensive line or give me death!

Surprised to see that the general consensus has flip-flopped since before

the team wore them.

I liked them when they wore them too.

Yeah.... when they first came out everyone was bitching like crazy.

Now they seem to be OK with it.

I love them.

Not me.

I still despise them.

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?

I loved them since they wore them.

I still want them to keep playing in them

Was it Mora who banned them / said they were no more?

In that case, all the more reason to bring them back. :)

You can rec it, which is effectively the same thing.

Am I follower...

…or a trend-setter for rec-cing the thing everyone else is rec-cing in the name of blazing a trail?

Facebook?

Too confusing.

by thebyron on Mar 11, 2010 10:24 PM PST up reply actions

Did Mora scapegoat these jerseys before or after he scapegoated Chris Spencer?

That also marked when I hit the panic button last season, when he talked about the jerseys being bad luck.

Give me an offensive line or give me death!

I wear them all the time in Madden

just to annoy my opponents.

Very distracting, they are. THROW TO ME! THROW TO ME!

I like them a lot.

I did not understand why people hated them. The dark blue pants worked well with them also.

by seattle_since_81 on Mar 11, 2010 5:52 PM PST reply actions

Hated them then,

hate them now. In addition, I’d prefer they look less like the Sounders and more like the Seahawks.

I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.

I love them

I actually think the all cobalt blue is depressing boring.

I’d love to see the grey and green sported with a silver helmet!

It is what it is...

by kidder95 on Mar 11, 2010 8:10 PM PST reply actions

FYI, the general reaction in any sports bar outside of Washington State to those uniforms...

…is uproarious laughter and mockery of anyone sporting a Seahawks logo.

It’s the only NFL jersey I’ve seen that looks more cute than tough.

I’m not a fan.

But if you like them…to each his own.

I don't give a damn what people outside of the Seahawks fandom thinks

Those unis are awesome and I want them to return.

To refute that;

I think they are lame and want them to never return.

Maybe we could match the UW and go dark purple and silver?

I love them, but would rather we just wear throwbacks one game a year.

by Anticitizen_One on Mar 12, 2010 5:50 AM PST reply actions

Are they officially done?

I only see a curry and a authentic customized available for purchase on the seahawks.com pro shop.

Looks like it.

Tatupu, Hass, Tru, Kerney and Fan (#12) are listed under “Sale.” Further down they’ve got a lime premier Peterson also. Interesting.

by thebyron on Mar 12, 2010 12:21 PM PST up reply actions

exactly

The fact that the lime greens are on sale at the pro shop isn’t a good sign for their future game use by the Seahawks.

Ahhhh.

Yeah, I’m not buying any of those jerseys haha.

I’d honestly love a Mebane jersey, but he’s a FA after this season, and all I need is for the Hawks not to re-sign him. F That.

At least I know my Carlson jersey has at least 2 more good seasons of use.

I miss my Walter Jones black shadow jersey

Gawd it was beautiful. Gone now. How, you ask? No freaking comment.

So now I have an away Tats, and I really like it. Years ago I had a cheap Shawn Springs home, gave it away when I got the Walter.

So now I’d like a nuke-cab. Something about them makes them look not as good for other positions as they do for WRs. Dunno why. Don’t like Branch. Love Housh, but it’s a temporal pickup; something about jerseys make me want there to be more of a substantial Hawk career behind them. Marshall, well, welcome should he come, but the character. What a predicament.
